mywebWOW!

I chose this company because they had a lot of positive reviews so I was surprised when my personal experience didn’t match what I read on the web. I was very frustrated with my experience. Although the staff is super nice, I had a lot of issues with this company.
–The original quote I was given didn’t include web optimization which is a hefty monthly cost. I would have been happy to pay for it if I knew about it from the start but I felt a little tricked when they told me after everything was said and done that I had to pay extra.
–There wasn’t so much attention to detail such as the menu prices didn’t line up (!!) and food pictures were cropped in a way that chopped off part of the food item (very unprofessional in my opinion)
–They use Joomla which is complicated for the customer to update and change things on the back-​end. Not as user friendly as word press.
–Their photographer is not an expert on food picture taking which is very different than regular picture taking. He didn’t stage anything and I was told that I should have done it before he arrived. I would have paid for a real professional since food images are extremely important to a restaurant website.
–When they optimized the site, they put keywords in very odd places such as the page titles and at the end of random sentences so it didn’t flow whatsoever. For example, our lunch page title which originally read «Lunch» (as it should) got changed to «Lunch in Columbus Ohio». I understand that you need the words Columbus Ohio throughout the site but I expect it to be done tastefully. Each title was changed this way and I was blown away that they thought this would be a good idea. I was told this is normal for search engine optimization.
I was very stressed using this company and I just don’t want anyone else to go through what I did. I also hope someone from this company reads this review and changes some things.

I used the team at mywebWOW! to develop my website and it was a wonderful experience. The website was one of the things I was stressing about the most because I don’t have any idea what I’m doing and I didn’t want to get taken advantage of. Andrew worked with me one on one and explained every step of the process. In the end I got a gorgeous website that was well under my budget that I had set aside.
I absolutely recommend them!
